OMPI_CRCP \- Open MPI MCA Checkpoint/Restart Coordination Protocol (CRCP) Framework:
Overview of Open MPI's CRCP framework, and selected modules.  Open MPI 4.0.4
.
.\" **************************
.\"    Description Section
.\" **************************
.SH DESCRIPTION
.
.PP
The CRCP Framework is used by Open MPI for the encapsulation of various
Checkpoint/Restart Coordination Protocols (e.g., Coordinated, Uncoordinated,
Message/Communication Induced, ...).
.
.\" **************************
.\"    General Process Requirements Section
.\" **************************
.SH GENERAL PROCESS REQUIREMENTS
.PP
In order for a process to use the Open MPI CRCP components it must adhear to a
few programmatic requirements.
.PP
First, the program must call \fIMPI_INIT\fR early in its execution.
.PP
The program must call \fIMPI_FINALIZE\fR before termination.
.PP
A user may initiate a checkpoint of a parallel application by using the
ompi-checkpoint(1) and ompi-restart(1) commands.
.
.\" **********************************
.\"    Available Components Section
.\" **********************************
.SH AVAILABLE COMPONENTS
.PP
Open MPI currently ships with one CRCP component: \fIcoord\fR.
.
.PP
The following MCA parameters apply to all components:
.
.TP 4
crcp_base_verbose
Set the verbosity level for all components. Default is 0, or silent except on error.
.
.\"   Coord Component
.\" ******************
.SS coord CRCP Component
.PP
The \fIcoord\fR component implements a Coordinated Checkpoint/Restart
Coordination Protocol similar to the one implemented in LAM/MPI.
.
.PP
The \fIcoord\fR component has the following MCA parameters:
.
.TP 4
crcp_coord_priority
The component's priority to use when selecting the most appropriate component
for a run.
.
.TP 4
crcp_coord_verbose
Set the verbosity level for this component. Default is 0, or silent except on
error.
.
.\"   Special 'none' option
.\" ************************
.SS none CRCP Component
.PP
The \fInone\fP component simply selects no CRCP component. All of the CRCP
function calls return immediately with OMPI_SUCCESS.
.
.PP
This component is the last component to be selected by default. This means that if
another component is available, and the \fInone\fP component was not explicity
requested then Open MPI will attempt to activate all of the available components
before falling back to this component.
